Hi Ayeza,
Footwork can be improved by including agility circuits into your training to ensure players are always on their toes and ready to move. Head to the Sportplan library, where you will find a drill category titled 'Footwork' - there will be lots of drills in here that will help you!
I have attached a great drill that encourages players to drive onto the ball and allows them to focus on their footwork when receiving the ball.
Hope this is helpful!
